Range For Poultry.

1t is desirable, where it is possible,
to give fowls ample range. The care
is reduced to- the minimum In such
cases, and The expense OF keeping Is
much less. But range is not abso-
lutely indispensable. The number OF
fowls which can be kept in health and
made to pay in very limited quarters
is much larger than many, perhaps
the most, suppose. But to do this it
is necessary to supply what fowls upon
a good range obtain for themselves.
Fowls upon an extensive range obtain
plenty of exercise, by which their
health is promoted. Fowls in narrow
quarters must be induced to take a
corresponding amount of exercise If
they are to be kept equally healthy.
To do this various expedients, like
burying grain, hanging up articles OF
food just within their reach, and a
constant turning up of the soil must
be resolted to- Fowls upon an ex-
tended range obtain variety OF food,
especially Of green food and insects
Fowls in narrow quarters must be FUR
nished with variety of food especially
Of green and animal food. This is not
difficult, but it is very often neglected.
Fowls upon an extended range obtain
clean ground, good busting places and
the like. The first is obtainable by
constantly stirring the soil, using dis
infectants and the like, and the second
by furnishing box provided with
loaddust, sulphur, and so forth. In
brief, if quarters are kept clean, variety
of food furnished and exercise pro-
NOTED, fowls may be kept in close con-
tinement and their health will remain
vigorous. Some of the finest speci-
mems have been raised in narrow quar-
tiers. But much greater care is neces
sary to produce the same results. 1t
remains exceedingly desirable, where
practicable, to furnish good range,
but tn re are many men who are de-
tered from keeping fowls simply from
the mistaken notion that what is de-
sirable is also indispensable. This no.
ton ought to be removed, because it
is wholly false. 1t 10 difficult to i'm
aginc any man, living outside of the
compact parts of city, who cannot
keep few fowls if he is willing to take
the necessary care. But if a man who
has but limited space desires to keep
fowls, he should understand that he
must supply the things necessary to
health which fowls having free range
are able to obtain for themselves.
